IMPROVEMENT IN GAS-BURNERS.

Specilication forming part of Letters Patent No. 146,568, dated Jannniy 20, IST-4; a] plila=ion lled August 4, 1873.

To all whomz't may concern:

Be it known that we, CORNELIUS BOGERT and HENRY MEDLIN, of the city, county, and

State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gras-Burner, of which the following is a specification: W 4

The invent-ion consists in arranging a plug centrally in the disch( ige-aperture of a burner to cause the gas to pass out in thin vertical sheets, thereby exposing more surface to the air, becoming thus more completelr oxidized, and therefore giving its maximum of illumination.

In the dra-wing, Figure l is a longitudinal section ot' Fig. 2, taken on the line wx; and Fig. 2 is an end View.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.

A represents the burner. In this example of our invention, the burner is seen screwed onto a chamber-piece, B; but this arrangement forms no part of our invention, which invention applies to the discharge end of the burner. C represents two or more discharge-slits, and D the filling in the end of the burner. This power of a given quantity of gas is by this burner greatly increased. `A three-foot burner Vof this kind will give as niueh light as a tivefoot burner of the ordinary kind.

Having thus described our invention, We olaini as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The plug or filling applied at about the iniddle ofthe discharge end of burner, as and for the purpose described.
